Anderson Silva's manager Ed Soares informed the audience that he Silva had injured his shoulder in training for UFC 134 (RIO) last month. He will be most likely out till early 2012, hopefully he can defend his title once again in the first quarter. The team were afraid of a possible surgery, for now it will just need a rehabilitation to heal. By the way there is now no currently a match-up set for title defence. Chael Sonnen vs. Brian Stann @ UFC 136 result will lead us to an answer.
Brian Stann has won the last 3 fights with a tremendous performance allowing him to fight for the title eliminator against Chael Sonnen. Chael Sonnen was the first fighter who was really close to defeat Silva. He simply dominated Silva till the 5th round. He insisted on ground and pounding Silva which eventually forced him to do a mistake and get caught by a triangle armbar choke at 3:10 of Round 5. Silva is one of the most dangerous guys on the ground to play with. We should also note that Silva came to bout with a broken rib.
Later the fight Chael Sonnen's post fight drug tests he had elevated testosterone level which was outside the normal range resulting him a 2500 $ fine and contract suspension until 9.2.11, later he appealed on 12.2.11. His elevated testosterone was due to his medical status and treatment as to the report. He had some other legal issues which is not about UFC and I don't want to write here. Now he is ready to face Brian Stann for UFC 136
